Moldova (bbabo.net), - The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on Tuesday will consider a resolution, part of which is the recognition of the Russian armed aggression against Moldova in 1992, as well as the Russian occupation of Transnistria. This is stated in the document, reports eurointegration.com.ua

We are talking about a draft decision, the purpose of which is to initiate the final exclusion of Russia from the Council of Europe. The project will be put to a vote on Tuesday evening.

The deputies submitted a number of amendments to it, one of which concerns Pridnestrovie.

PACE members from Romania, Ukraine, France, Estonia, Great Britain, Georgia, Turkey proposed to the assembly to officially recognize the Russian occupation of part of Moldova. The decision proposes to declare that earlier "the Russian Federation committed an act of military aggression against the Republic of Moldova and, accordingly, the occupation of its Transnistrian region."

According to the EP, at a meeting of the committee that considered the draft decision, this amendment was adopted unanimously, which means that it will certainly be included in the final text.

This is the first official recognition of Transnistria as an "occupied territory" at this level. So far, the Council of Europe has spoken of the territory "under the effective control of the Russian Federation" as tough language. And, as a rule, the documents of the CE and other organizations generally avoided formulations about the status.

It draws attention to the fact that the representatives of Moldova did not become co-authors of the amendment. However, based on the unanimous vote, they also did not object to the recognition of the occupation.
